In this paper, the role of externally applied body-bias on the hot-carrier induced degradation is further investigated for five different temperatures. Our devices underwent accelerated electrical stress applying different negative body-biases as well as drain and front gate biases chosen to obtain reasonable stress duration. The variations of the main electrical parameters such as the maximal transconductance, the driving current or the threshold voltage are reported.","PeriodicalId":338080,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Low Temperature Electronics","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121183695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetoresistance was measured at very low temperatures (10 mK < T< 900 mK), for magnetic fields -2500 G< B < 2500 G. The experimental results exhibit a negative magnetoresistance that we attribute to quantum interference effects due to time reversed electron paths and known as weak localization.

This accuracy is provided with high sensitivity of the bolometers, having the noise equivalent power about 3.8×10 -12 W/ Hz 1/2 (with modulation) and 2.6×10 -9 W (without modulation). The main sources affecting on an accuracy of the absolute measurements such as external reflection, the passage of radiation through the substrate, photo-stimulated electron emission from the receiving surface, the stability of synchrotron radiation source and instability of cryostat temperature are analysed.
